A month or so ago, I bought a washing machine online from Comet. But there was a problem with the payment, so they had to call to confirm it, then the order went through.
But right after the phonecall, my name changed on the website from "Miss" to "Mr". So I asked their customer support WTF, and it turned out the guy I talked to on the phone changed it, presumably because I sounded like a guy.
Comet just didn't get why I was so upset. Surprisingly, a lot of my friends thought I was overreacting. "Just a genuine mistake!" they all said. Well, fuck that. A company shouldn't just change my name because they think I got it wrong. And certainly not because they think they can guess my title just by talking to me.
